Re: Rio Grande Southern Number 19 Tender
| October 06, 2018 10:52PM |
Here are some photos from July, 1966 of the tender, and then looking down from the spot on Keystone Hill, where the engine left the tracks and rolled down the hill. I apologize for the quality, I was using a borrowed camera which was 13 years old, and had no light meter or light metering system, so I did the best that I could. The number 19 was visible on the tender, but it did not come out on the photos. When I visited the site again in 1977, the number had been neatly torched out.
